The table below lists ingredients which score a 3 or above on the 0-5
comedogenicity scale. If any of these are within the first seven
ingredients on the ingredient list of a product you are choosing, you
may want to reconsider. If, however, any of these ingredients are far
down on the list, this means the manufacturer may have included it in a
very small amount and the product may still be safe to use.
